Abstract

Myconymphaea yatsukahoi gen. sp. nov. is described in the Kickxellaceae (Kickxellales, Zygomycetes). The fungus is characterised by unicellular sporocladia formed on apical vesicles of sporangiophores, conspicuously long sporangiospores and peculiar septal plugs with prominent protuberances. In addition, a key to all known genera of the Kickxellales is provided.
